my wednesday line up
8 pm
Buffalo Billiards
(201 E 6th St) (21+ )
Jesca Hoop
A singer/songwriter with range, explosively creative instrumentals, and an epic voice, Hoop is your gal if you like an artist that sketches transcendental sonic landscapes. Her debut album, Kismet, carries the powerhouse songs as “Seeds of Wonder” and “Money” both of which underline her fluid and Tim Burton-esque stylized textures.
10:00 pm - 2:00 am
Emo’s IV Lounge
(601 Red River St) (All Ages)
Mahjongg 10:00 p.m.
Dance party to the max, Mahjongg cleverly compounds electronic beats with cross-genre mixing to create a fluid and purely jamming good time.
Saturday Looks Good to Me 11:00 p.m.
I don’t know them that well but I dig what I’ve heard so far. Give “Make A Plan” and “Whitey Hand” on their 2007 album Fill Up The Room a soundcheck.
Kimya Dawson 12:00 a.m.
Headliner for the Juno soundtrack and co-founder of the Moldy Peaches, Kimya Dawson captures light and goofy acoustics of pure indie without entering the realm of trite. For a soundcheck listen to “Loose Lips,” her song that was on both the Juno Soundtrack and her 2006 album Remember That I Love You.
The Blow 1:00 a.m.
Pop-punk with synthesized beats and the occasional French chorus, The Blow from Portland, OR promises a great and hopefully sassy performance. For a soundcheck listen to “Pile of Gold” on their album Paper Television.
Check back in tomorrow for pictures and reviews of the shows!
Good luck and Godspeed.
